Why we love Little Canada...

For a relatively small Island, the Isle of Wight certainly packs a punch way above its weight. It has become a place synonymous with legendary music festivals, sailing regattas, tourist attractions and food festivals. It has a number of golden beaches, scenic walks, fantastic cycle routes and some of the UK’s most stunning coastline. However, for those who are less active there’s a huge number of restaurants, shops and cafes. To top things off, why not give the famous Ghost Walk tours a go!

The on-centre People & Culture team run a very busy social calendar of events, catering to all interests and hobbies such as water sports, quizzes, football, karaoke and board game nights.

Colleague facilities include: On-site bar ‘The Mounties Retreat’, colleague lounges, sports hall, climbing wall, laundrette and colleague wi-fi.

Ellen, Team Leader

I joined PGL as an AIGL to have a fun job in my summer breaks at Uni. 3 seasons later I'm a Team Leader and I have loved every moment! I've discovered a passion for outdoor activities, PGL has put me through British Canoeing qualifications to become a Paddle Sport Instructor. I am now on a pathway to become a Head of Department.

Chris, Facilities Manager

It makes my day to be able to see so many young people from all walks of life, some who may not have experienced being by seaside. My experience working in facilities in schools and the NHS enabled me to hit the ground running and feel like I am doing something highly rewarding within my job
